Happy Halloween!🕷

Ava, WiB's VP, and I are diving into a topic that's a little spooky for some: our UMass course history. Luckily, Ava loves learning and would genuinely take every course UMass has to offer if she could. In this week's episode, we discuss our favorite classes, professors, and learning experiences as we scour Spire to plan for next semester. Tune in for some class selection inspiration and advice for making the most of your degree.📚

Welcome back!!💖

Caroline Tierney and Rachael Doyle, WiB’s Co-Presidents, had two very different junior years… and yet, they learned similar life lessons along the way and emerged closer than ever. In this episode of OOO, we dive into Caroline’s year of traveling around the globe after cementing a career path in finance, and Rachael’s Isenberg + internship grind as she explored her passion for media. After many stories and laughs, we reflect and offer advice to our freshmen year selves. Tune in for 40 minutes of candid conversation and a little inspiration.✨

Happy Monday!!😊

To help our co-host Lisa prepare for her exciting summer abroad in Portugal, we sat down with our E-Board Director Dasha to get the inside scoop on all things summer abroad!! We talked about everything from her travel necessities (including her go-to pair of shoes) to her most memorable experiences- if you are thinking of going abroad you will not want to miss this episode!

🤍

Happy Wednesday!!✨

With class selection in full swing we thought it would be best to give you all the tips, tricks and lessons we have used to survive this week on Spire.

We hope you all get the schedules of your dreams (and even if you don't- know that you still have plenty of time!!)

🤍

Happy Spring Semester!!☺️✨

For our first episode of the semester, we sat down with WiB Historian/Blog Chair, Sophia!

Sophia just led an amazing general body meeting for us about her journey starting her own small business and establishing both her personal and professional brand. In our conversation we were able to continue that discussion while also getting a more personal look at her experience being a small business owner while being a full-time student, and where she sees her career going from here!

To view Sophia's work and see what she's up to now, you can find her on all socials @SophiaLynnePhoto !

Lara and I discussed the importance of prioritizing mental health to prevent burnout, a topic which she has had plenty of personal experience with. 

Lara gave me great advice on new strategies I can try to help ease my mind and reduce my weekly workload. Her perspective after her time abroad is so insightful and I was feeling so inspired after hearing her speak on her experience (and I know you will too!)
